it's version 2.8 and I am trying to open it to upgrade it.  The error I get is a known Mac error:  see Forum:  viewtopic.php?f=6&t=138
it says: "Timed Out
The request to get the list of login items timed out.
Try re-running Espionage after waiting a few seconds."

In the other forum topic it says to delete the non-icon login items but I don't want to do that because I need those login items.

thanks for your help.

I cannot open Espionage and saw the post about deleting the non icon login items and then it will open but if I delete those, won't that affect other things I use and need?  Is there not another way?  Can I download the new version and just reinstall?  If I delete those login items it will affect other things I sue.  Please help and thanks.
